Daal

125g lentils

1.5 litres water

3-4 tomatoes quartered

1tsp ground cumin

1tsp ground ginger

1tsp ground coriander

1tsp salt

2 chillies chopped

4-5 cloves of garlic finely sliced or a decent spoonful of minced garlic

Some olive oil

Handful fresh coriander roughly chopped.

 

Put lentils, tomatoes, dried spices, one of the chillies and water in a pan. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer.  Remember to stir the pan.  After an hour and a bit or so, or whenever the lentils are close to cooked, add the other chopped chilli and the chopped up fresh coriander.
Then get another pan and put some olive oil in it. Whack the garlic in until it’s starting to soften and then pour the garlic/oil into the daal. Give it a good stir, whack a little extra fresh coriander on top and away you go. Good with rice or breads.

You can squeeze some lemon on if you're feeling radical.

That should a pint and half of water. Adding some fried salmon at the end is worth a shot too.

Cheeky little Monday roast. Bought a free range chicken from a local farm. Incomparable to the crap you buy in supermarkets. £14 flipping quid mind
